MigBuster

Its just the usual words of wishful thinking you see from someone who really has no clue about what was tested in that exercise - oh it now has this capability so therefore must be just as good blah blah - flipping hilarious. Wouldn't be complete without the usual comment about having some parameter of the flight envelope that will somehow play out despite all the other factors involved, and the fact you cant dictate what happens in a merge to that level (if you get to one). For example a hypothetical 11 degree turn rate that may happen with a clean jet at some altitude at some certain weight if you remember to use contingency thrust - (tbh its still sh**e ) The MiG-21 airframe is the major problem here and India are due to replace these relics over the next few years.

Happy Christmas (or whatever you celebrate) to all....... May yours be peaceful and full of presents and alcohol cheers

unbelievable - even if it happened it would probably just crash into the earth or something equally stupid.

Some on the brochure http://www.iai.co.il/sip_storage/FILES/0/36830.pdf

This may have been the case in SF1 - but in SF2 the revised super MiGs will probably outperform it at any altitude- The 102 is a pretty interesting challenge though. comparing the real stats: If taking the J57-P23A powered F-102A - that has a best TW ratio the same as the MiG-17F (about 0.63) - whereas the MiG-19S was a rocket ship (0.85) because its so light at combat weight. The F-102A top end is only about M1.2 - where as the 19 goes to M1.35 and probably gets there a lot quicker - so out powering either might not have been the best option. Also at higher altitudes the MiG-17F/19S control stiffness that occurred (even with hydraulic boostered flight surfaces) doesn't exist because of the thinner air. The 102 has a much larger wing area and lower wing loading than the MiG-17F even so you would have expected it to be better at turning at higher altitudes (although not for certain as the 102s delta has a 60 degree sweep compared to the 45 degree and 55 degree of the 17/19 which have different layouts ) - but then you have to keep tally on the bandit out of that nightmare of a cockpit - whereas the 17/19 have bubble canopy's and lots of guns. Also bear in the mind the MiG-17F has an 8G frame over the 7G frame of the F-102 (the 19 has a 6.5G one) The 102 should have a bit more combat persistence - although maybe not if you are flying over North Vietnam - and you need to spend the fight in burner to try and get your Falcons in parameters (then remember to open the missile tray). In SF2 you are also faced with MiGs that have a 360 degree EODAS system so its not always easy to catch one flying in a straight line.

Used to increase the FPS by loads - but only if you have a multicore CPU from what I remember.

conflicting stories in the press whatever next..... http://ca.reuters.com/article/domesticNews/idCABRE8BB1NY20121212

Sorry if you don't understand what I've written - this has nothing to do with royalty its about putting that nurse in a position where she could lose her job.

May have flown one but didn't realise its full potential: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-20609795

I actually agree here - the radio presenters should be setting an example - not doing pranks for publicity. Even if she didn't commit suicide they put the Nurse in a position where her job was potentially threatened - and it may have not been her fault regarding how the procedures were set up. I will also go along with the notion that these 2 presenters are brainless talentless retards for only seeing what they could gain from the stunt - and not how it would affect the people down the line. Think for a minute the environment the nurse may work in - normally one of misery, disease and death - where she constantly had to look and act cheerful - and tbh the nurses ive had care from have always come across as being caring and friendly. So she gets all that dumped on top of her head as well as everything else while those c***s get worldwide coverage. There is a line - and they crossed it!!

According to the Osprey source - the Iranian F-14s were well equipped with the AWG-9, Combat tree IFF and in most cases the MiGs they were firing at had no idea what was coming till it hit them (thus helping the AIM-54 hit ratio) - the MiG-25Rs being the exception here where it could use its great speed to turn around and run for it after getting RWR signals.

That's whats written in here as well: http://www.ospreypublishing.com/store/US-Navy-F-14-Tomcat-Units-of-Operation-Iraqi-Freedom_9781841768038 AIM-54Cs with no chance of catching the MiGs

Yep not much to go on - but that's backed up in this source along with the kills and weapons used: http://www.ospreypublishing.com/store/Iranian-F-14-Tomcat-Units-in-Combat_9781841767871

Really sad news this - guess that just pushed her over the edge (If it was suicide ) - RIP

Nice - thanks for posting this

Give them to these guys instead............ http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-20614593

should be enough http://combatace.com/topic/44798-adding-aircraft-to-campaigns-in-sf2/

Why not - I do this across SF, DCS and Falcon

Looks totally amazing - many congrats

Moan to TK again? Fly solo

The SF2 North Atlantic spawning issue was fixed in later Thirdwire patches was it not. Campaigns have set aircraft types defined in the campaign _data.ini file - see the SF2 knowledge base for more info

In that case then accurate (or semi-accurate) FMs for the J-6 and F-100A/C/D would be a nice change.
